Kaname Reina

"Nice to meet you. Please just call me Reina. I already hope that we can get along in the future."

- Reina's Introduction Catchphrase 

Reina Kaname (鹿目 礼奈 Kaname Reina) is one of the current candidates for AKB0048's 155th generation draft.

She is also used to being affectionately nicknamed as Rena (レナ). She is a pretty well-mannered and mature teenager who holds a great sense of Justice. Mature to the point that she was know as The adult trapped in a teenager's body (ティーンエイジャーの体に閉じ込められた大人) in her highschool.

Reina comes from a poor family in an extremely precarious situation, which is why she hesitates to become an idol, despite her love for 00s and Entertainment in general.

Appearance
Reina has long, soft, slightly wavy, coral pink hair, as well as two strands framing her face, facing her cheeks and chin while two other strands fall on her chest. Her forehead is fully exposed even if there is sometimes a small strand of hair touching almost her nose. Reina also generally wears a small wreath of artificial flowers on her head. In order to correct her slight short-sightedness, she wears thin circular red glasses covering her tea-colored eyes. However, she does not wear them all the time. She also has a small mole on the right side of her nose. Her silhouette is quite thin and her complexion is rather fair, although it tends to pale colour.

Her dress style is plain, confortable, discreet and very "adult-like". Indeed, Reina has a clothing range quite limited because of the poverty of her family. Many of her clothes belonged to her mother. Reina cares little about current fashion trends, and often promotes the practical side of her clothes.

She rarely wears makeup, and if she does, its very light.

Personality
Reina is a young girl characterized by her strong sense of Justice because her family suffered a heavy injustice. Having a large family (and a sick father) that she has to constantly looking after, she always tries hard to be resourceful and responsible, and has an honorable sense of duty.

She is naturally friendly, composed, diligent and rather polite, yet she can show a very sensitive, indecisive behavior when it comes to matters concerning the family. It's because her family means everything to her. She did not have the opportunity to have many friends because she had to take care of her family all the time. As a result, she usually calls to people with their full name, not out of contempt or anything but it's just a habit she has since she was very young, because she's not accustomed to being close to other people than her family.

She tries to never lose her cool even though she is facing a difficult situation. She also has a more competitive and calculative side, especially when it comes to card games.

Because of her mature appearance and attitude, people tend to forget that she is still a teenager who has a secret interest in cute things.

Furthermore, Reina is a resolute person, patient, helpful and generally pacifist; albeit she is almost never afraid to speak of her mind.

Skills
Reina's skills, coming mainly from her social background, are more like those of a mother than a girl teenager.

Due to having to take care of her large family, Reina excels in all kinds of housework. Her culinary skills are exemplary, and she can clean any place very effectively.

She is also very comfortable taking care of children and enjoys it. She is good at managing money and expenses.

Thanks to her composure and her somewhat strategic mind, Reina is exceptionally good at playing card games. She can easily defeat other talented adult players.

Additionnaly, she has made many trips to arcades to relax. It is thanks to these short escapades that Reina discovered an innate talent for Danmaku and Dance Dance Revolution.
